Bard AFK Macro Leveling Guide - 7/18/07

@ silly

Now for me, i dont need to use numlock, try that.

 

[Marbury]

/circle on ## is what runs auto circle. No need for NUMLOCK or anything like that, this macro is completely hands free, you just type in the commands.

Okay, everything seems to be working correctly except one minor problem. The level 12 song bellow has a very high recast time. The mobs will regen before the next nuke will even go off. Is there any way to shorten the cast time on it? Or do i just need higher levels so it will do more damage? Current level is 12.

 

[Marbury]

Higher levels probably, I did not start kiting until 50's cause I PL'd with my druid all the way up.

 

[Lichd2]

Get PLd or group till you get to the level with dots

OMFG I had a insane PL off of one pull. Went over to mistmoore with my mage just to PL for about a hour and see what I can do.
Of all things I got lost inside that stupid castle, I was not invis and even though the mage is 75, every mob he ran by agro'ed on her. I finally found my way out of there after poppin a heal potion for the second time and ran my way to the zone in where the bard was, casted magmaskin rk. iii then wham... the mobs were already on me. So they must run at least run 3, but more like run 4. So I do a couple loops around that pond by the zone in to find my skinspike potions as they stack with mage DS. I finally find them in my packs, run back up by the ramp near zone in and quickly click on the potion. I managed to get it off, I waited a about 30 seconds then tabbed to the bard. Fired up the song CoD and moved close to them and to my surpise, it landed on nearly 85% of the mobs. So I back the bard away and tab back to the mage.
Took about maybe 14 casts to finally get it to land from mob push. But once it landed, mobs started dropping hella fast. I casted scorching skin rk. iii then I heard a loud ding. A few more mobs died, and more loud dings. Finally get the last cast of SSrk III and I hear one more ding.
I tab back over to my bard to see how many levels I got. I was expecting 4-7 levels. But to my surprise, on that one pull I nailed 13 levels. From 12 to 25 on one pull Mobs in MM can range upto their 40's. Needless to say I was one happy bard/mage. I will never again go back to obsolete low level PL'ing with a drood again. I never thought a mage can be such a insane PL'ing class for the low levels.
Now to work on the bards skills >.<
